Screaming Females

Artist- Screaming Females
Album- Castle Talk
Label- Don Giovanni

While this album was not exactly what I was expecting, I still enjoyed it greatly. When one hears the name screaming females, I feel, it is difficult to not have a vision of what the vocals will be. However, this band name is misleading. While the singer is female, she is not screaming, in fact she has a very pleasant voice that has just a hint of unrefinement (not a real word). The real great part of this album/band is not the vocalist though, it is the instrumentals. They have a really unique balance between a garage punk sounding instrumentals and your more everyday poppy indie rock sound. This is cool, but also sometimes confusing, for some songs you listen to and you are like this is sick, and then it switches on you. However, I feel this really isn’t a huge deal and it does bring something new to the table, which I feel is enjoyable. This is a great album for people that like indie rock but want just a little more grime in the sound.
